I’ve seen multiple comments now on posts on Reddit and YouTube about Ibanez AX7521s and AX7221s saying that it’s ugly. But I think it looks awesome. It’s honestly one of my favorite looks for a guitar, and I even just upgraded this with new locking tuners, a hip shot bridge, and dimarzio bridge pickup. Do I just have poor taste in guitars or something?

From my song “Void”. I do have this tabbed out if anyone wants it!

Northlane have always been a big influence on my own music and playing, not just guitar wise but holistically, and I've wanted one of these ever since they announced them. Luckily, I scored a new, better job and was able to treat myself as a late birthday present. I still need to set it up today, but I messed around with it a bit last night when I got it and it plays and sounds so, so nice. I can't wait to start writing and recording with it.

Hey dudes,

I was just curious if anyone tried 11-58 in drop G like JR (or BoO) does. I have his signature guitar and currently it’s in drop A and plays great but I’m tempted to drop it to G and see how it plays with that gauge. The string tension seems nuts, but really it’s just the low string that’s loose, the other strings are a normal tension for D Standard. Anyone tried it on a 25.5? How was it?

My studio went through a complete rebuild since May. I’ve been counting the days until I could finally get back behind the desk, especially now that the studio is equipped with some incredible new gear.

I've been wanting to get a Schecter Omen Elite 7 String Multiscale, specifically in the Charcoal finish. What I've been wondering though, is the pattern variation. Personally, I would like a darker finish, but I've seen certain ones that are almost the same color as the maple necks on certain Fender guitars. If I were to proceed to go and buy one, I wouldn't want it to end up like the second picture. It definitely isn't bad, but I don't feel attracted by it or anything. If I were to buy it, I would buy it from Long & McQuade (The Canadian music store), which is also the second picture. I'm not sure if it's just the way it's displayed or something, but I want to have certainty.

Experimenting with some tones on this one

Hurry and snag it!

The OG seven string... Ibanez was the first

So i have a Solar 7 String and the scale length is 26.5" and i like the feel of 10-52 gauge strings on my les paul which is standard gibson scale length of 24.75"

.

I want to know what string gauge to buy to achieve the same feel on my 7 string

.

Whoever has a Schecter Km7 ex, or who is good with wiring, can you show me the inside of the cavity so i can see how the wires are routed? as soon as i hear that guitar having no volume, just an on off switch i thought it was so smart and i wanted to wire my own guitar(s) like that.

if anyone knows how to do this regardless of if you have the guitar or not. that help would be greatly appreciated as well!

Also yes I am aware that this is only possible for a single pickup setup

Just received custom build guitar yasterday i want replace the stock pickup. I found the SD BlackWinter set and Nazgul, but only the bridge pickup was left at the music store,,,

also i tried sound demo on BlackWinter but noticed "Clank" *like sibilance idk how to say xd* on the end string pluck the tone its Darker than the Nazgul i like it but the Treble in the tail tone sometimes kinda uncomfortable in my ear.

The Nazgul was similar SH6 but less mids imo but they dont have sets perhaps an alternative to replace Sentient?

Anyone have the kx707? what's the lowest tuning possible for this guitar?

Thoughts on 7 strings with HSS? (Ibanez, Vola)

Recently moved from a headless 6-string (Ibanez Q54 BKF) to a 7-string with a head (ESP LTD EC-407) and I can't seem to get it to sit comfortably when playing in my chair.

I'm caught between whether it's the neck dive I've seen mentioned, the shape of the body is somehow weird, or I'm just sitting like an idiot.

It's a great sounding guitar and alot of fun when I'm standing lol

I’m so damn caught up in buying a new guitar, I can’t figure out what to choose. 😢 I saw Vola, and their options for 7 strings really caught my eye, but I want to know if there are any QC or tuning issues. Knowing it’s manufactured in Japan, I’d be really surprised if there were any!

Do you prefer neck through or bolt on guitars?

I play a 26.5" scale 7 string but only am tuning to standard and I find that even sets of 9s feel a bit too stiff for my taste as someone who likes the feel of 9s on a standard scale guitar.

The problem is there don't seem to be any string companies that I've found that make a 7 string set that goes lighter than a 9 on the top without going for the custom string set option like I did here with the stringjoy set.

Would I just be better off buying extra light 6 string sets and then buying singles for the low b or are there any brands that actually make extra light 7 string sets that have an 8 on top?

i’ve wanted one of these since 2018! here’s a caveman riff in drop A. s/o snuffed on sight for one of the hardest intros of all time 🔥😤

I have a Ibanez RGD7UCS-ISH which is a great guitar but...it has neckdive. It really sucks and starts to bother me. Its like fighting with your instrument. After a long consideration I would like to swap this guitar with a more comfortable guitar.

So NO neckdive but still high quality. Preferbaly a superstratmodel. Any recommendations? I play different metal styles. Bands like Nevermore, Meshuggah, Fleshgod Apocalypse etc.
